Military Mail Returned

CLICK FOR COMPLETE STORY:

OROMOCTO - A woman in the model town says Canada Post has returned cards and letters sent to her daughter serving on HMCS Fredericton for insufficient postage.

Lorraine Robichaud said she's spoken to a member of the military at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown and has been told similar complaints have been received.

Canada Post announced last year it was extending a program that allows family and friends of deployed troops and sailors to send letters free throughout 2010.

Robichaud said Canada Post has given her a case number and she has been told it will take a week to investigate her complaint. She said members of the military such as her daughter, who is aboard HMCS Fredericton off the Horn of Africa, look forward to mail from home and to have it returned is disheartening.

A spokesman for Canada Post couldn't be reached for comment.
